Are there any chess engines that understand anything about strategic exchange
sacs?


The following is an instructive example of an exchange sac that yields a
strategicly won position:

[D]r3r1k1/1pqn1pbp/p2p2p1/3P4/1RP5/4B3/P3BPPP/3Q1RK1 b - -

From Polugaevsky-Petrosian 50th USSR Ch Final 1958

19...Rxe3!! 20.fxe3 Nc5-+ 21.Qc2 Re8 22.Rf3 Bh6 23.Qc3 Qe7 24.Rb6? Na4 0-1

Neither Nimzo8 nor Ruffian 1.0.1 have a clue in the above position.
